Chapter 1514 The Lord's Insistence
As the scene before his eyes changed like an overturned palette, Lei Xiao felt his thoughts becoming increasingly blurred.
In a trance, when everything became clear again, Lei Xiao found himself sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa in the Queen's bedroom in Lion Castle.
The bright sunshine shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away, leaving dazzling spots of light on the ground and a warm feeling.
The room is elegantly and exquisitely decorated, and with a wide variety of cakes and fruits placed on the coffee table in front, everything looks like a peaceful and tranquil life.
"My Lord, dinner will be ready soon. It will be all your favorite Daxia dishes."
A crisp and gentle voice sounded, and Ariel walked over with a pot of hot tea in her hand. She leaned over to fill the teapot for Lei Xiao and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is the grand ceremony to mark the first anniversary of the Lord's reign over the human race. The people of the seven nations are all looking forward to that moment."
"Guanwang City is in imminent danger. Once it is conquered by the Eclipse, not only will thousands of lives be lost, but we will also not be able to return. How can there be any grand ceremony?"
Lei Xiao looked at the steaming tea in front of him, stood up from his seat, frowned and said: "I am now in an extremely dangerous void space, I have to hurry..."
At this point, Lei Xiao looked at his hands blankly and muttered to himself: "What should I do quickly?"
"Of course, I will stay with you, my subordinate."
Ai Lier took Lei Xiao's arm and smiled, "The human race is peaceful under the governance of the Lord. The bards in every tavern and inn are chanting the Lord's great achievements. The Lord is the greatest hero of the human race. What else do we have to worry about?"
"No, Watch City..."
Lei Xiao felt that his consciousness was gradually being eroded by some force. He shook his head and said, "I have to go back quickly!"
"My Lord, you are thinking about the Outer Realm again, right?"
Ariel's face gradually darkened, and she frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be better for us to stay in the human territory? Why did the Lord insist on taking the entire human race on an adventure?"
"My Lord, you have already stood at the pinnacle of the human race, holding supreme power, which is enough for you to enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life, and to be remembered in history and admired by thousands of people. Why are you still not satisfied?!"
After hearing what Ariel said, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned again and was speechless for a while.
Lei Xiao could feel that his thoughts became more blurred and he was even unable to think anymore.
The other party was right. I have already obtained everything that ordinary people cannot achieve. Why should I continue to move forward?
But after only a moment, Lei Xiao's confused face returned to normal.
Although I am no longer able to think, my goal has already been engraved in my bones.
"If I don't keep going, how can the human race survive the erosion of the Eclipse? Or should I say the Cataclysm? That is a catastrophe that even the top forces in the outer realms cannot resist!"
Lei Xiao's voice was firm and unwavering, and he said loudly: "It's not just the catastrophe, but also the root cause of the catastrophe, which is the truth of the blank era, or the truth of this world. That is the source of everything. As a lord of another world, I'm afraid this is my mission in this world."
"But even if the Great Cataclysm is about to come, what can it do? The Lord has also said that it is an existence that even the top forces cannot contend with! How can the Lord possibly contend with it?!"
Ariel still did not give up, and continued: "Rather than working in vain and being swallowed up by the Eclipse in the end, it is better to enjoy the last moments in peace!"
"Because I am never alone, there are countless people standing by my side, walking hand in hand with me."
Lei Xiao's mind flashed with familiar and resolute faces of his subordinates, and he responded, "They are all moving forward, so why should I stand still? As long as there is still a burning light in one person's heart, hope will last forever."
"You are not Ariel, don't even think about disturbing my mind!"
As Lei Xiao's powerful voice fell, Ariel and the warm room disappeared in an instant. In a flash, Lei Xiao was already standing under a series of dark towers, surrounded by desolate and dilapidated sleeping places.
"You are just a mere human, but you actually want to be on par with us?"
A disdainful snort sounded, and a figure standing on a high tower with folded wings crossed his arms and snorted, "You really overestimate your own abilities!"
"You are just an ant, but you dare to try to shake the giant tree. How ignorant and ridiculous."
An elegant and contemptuous voice sounded from another high tower, and a tall figure with pointed ears looked down at Lei Xiao with contempt.
"Weak human race, just go back to your hometown. What do you have to compete with us?"
On the third high tower, a short but extremely sturdy figure stood proudly with a full beard raised, sneering: "You actually want to gather the power of other ants to resist the catastrophe? No matter how many ants there are, they are just ants!"
As the three figures finished speaking, the figures on the other towers also echoed them, and sneers filled with contempt and disdain rose one after another.
Listening to this series of mocking voices, Lei Xiao wanted to open his mouth to refute several times, but he couldn't say anything because his mind was completely frozen, as if it was blocked by something.
However, as Lei Xiao's power weakened, the voices in the tower became more and more unscrupulous.
"What a joke! Nowadays, all kinds of people are trying to shake our position."
"Haha, if you dare to come, I will let you have a taste of what the real peak power is!"
"Humans? What's the difference between you and ants? You want to climb up the tower? Think about your own abilities first! It's really laughable!"
"After all, what can an ant do? You are nothing and can do nothing!"
……
"I……"
This series of sounds came like a series of heavy punches, making Lei Xiao's already confused mind even more chaotic, and he almost fainted.
Lei Xiao didn't even know where he was or what he was doing. He just felt an endless chill all over his body.
Just when Lei Xiao was about to give up thinking and was about to lose himself completely, an anxious and worried voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"My Lord, hold on. Don't be corrupted by illusions! We are all waiting for you to come back. We can't live without you! Guanwang City also cannot live without you!"
For a moment, this sudden sound was like a warm light, making Lei Xiao's originally frozen thoughts much clearer.
"Is this Xuanji's voice?"
Lei Xiao suddenly opened his eyes wide and clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound.
That's right, I am carrying everyone's expectations and the life and death of Guanwang City on my shoulders. How can I be defeated by ridicule and mockery here?
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the figures standing proudly on those high towers and said calmly: "What happened to the human race? Back then, the human race was also at the top of all races. I want to take back the place that once belonged to the human race with my own hands."
"As for you, you have really taken your arrogance and indifference to the extreme in the face of the impending catastrophe."
"You want to keep yourself safe? But when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? In the face of the erosion of "eclipse", you are nothing and can do nothing, because you don't even have the courage to do it."
"And the things that you can't do, the things that you can't finish, I will do them. One day I will use facts to prove to you that your arrogance is worthless!"
As Lei Xiao finished his words, the surrounding towers suddenly collapsed, those arrogant figures also disappeared, and everything returned to the endless deep darkness.
"I didn't expect the illusion of nothingness to be so terrifying. I almost died here."
Lei Xiao let out a long sigh, then looked at the stone elf beside him and said with a smile: "Xuan Ji, thank you so much for what you did just now..."
However, before Lei Xiao could finish his words, his smile suddenly stopped.
What appeared before him was not a stone elf emitting warmth, but shattered fragments of a divine stone!
Feeling the deathly silence and coldness brought by the fragments of the divine stone, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned again, almost unable to believe his eyes.
Before he could react, a series of prompts suddenly rang in his ears.
[Note: The current loss rate of the Observation City has dropped to 20%! ]
[Attention: The central temple of Guanwang City has been completely breached by "Eclipse"! ]
[Attention: Lord Lei Xiao, you have failed in your defense, and you will be trapped here forever! ]
[Note: Lord Lei Xiao, you really disappoint me, but it doesn't matter. At worst, I can just find another lord.]
[Attention: Incompetent Lord Lei Xiao, you don’t think your talent is unique, do you? No way? No way? ]
[Attention: Ignorant Lord Lei Xiao, let me tell you that there are thousands of Lords with stronger talents than you. You are just one of my thousands of chess pieces? Do you really think of yourself as the savior? Do you really think of yourself as the son of destiny? ]
[Attention: Useless Lord Lei Xiao, let me tell you that you are just a discarded pawn that I can manipulate at will! A discarded pawn is just a discarded pawn! I am the omnipotent being! ]
"It seems that I am still in the illusion. Is it replaced by a reminder sound this time?"
After the initial shock, Lei Xiao, who had regained his composure, reacted quickly.
Based on my own experience with the prompt sound, the other party would naturally not use this tone, and has never called himself "this god".
To be more precise, the prompting voice is indeed a chess player, but it is also a taciturn observer who will never say any extra long words.
"I admit that the voice of the reminder is indeed from a god, but since it summoned us, the lords of other worlds, it seems that it is not omnipotent, although the reason for this is still unknown."
"As for me, it doesn't matter if my talent is not unique or if I am just a useless chess piece."
"Now that I'm here, I have to figure out why I'm here. This is what I insist on and what I have to accomplish. I don't care about anything else, so these words have no effect on me."
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, everything fell silent again.
The next second, the endless darkness around was suddenly shattered, and a howling wind began to sound in the ears.
When his vision returned, Lei Xiao noticed it.
He was still in the boundless depth, and Xuanji was anxious and worried, holding his wrist tightly.
"Lord, wake up! If you don't mobilize your own energy to resist the void wind, everything will fail!"
Xuan Ji's anxious cry echoed in Lei Xiao's heart.
At this point, Lei Xiao further noticed that he was indeed being pulled by an extremely powerful force. If Xuan Ji had not caught him, he would have been lost in the depths of the void space.
At the same time, Jasmine was still sitting cross-legged in front of the space magic circle, but because she and Xuanji had stopped supplying energy, not only was the magic circle dim, but Jasmine's delicate face also became paler.
"Understood!"
Lei Xiao calmed his mind and first swallowed a few charging potions. Then the tremendous energy in his abdomen rushed out. Coupled with the blessing of the power of God, the sluggish energy barrier around his body instantly became bright.
As the energy barrier became more solid and heavy, the influence of the void wind was greatly weakened, allowing Lei Xiao's body to stabilize again.
"Human boy, you have finally recovered!"
Jasmine's weak voice soon came through the magic thread, and she said anxiously in Lei Xiao's ear: "Hurry up and continue to charge the magic circle! I was just about to go all out and enter the most critical moment of the search!"
As Jasmine was speaking, Lei Xiao reacted quickly as well. Vast magical power surged out from his palms again and was sent towards the energy supply array in front of him.
While Xuan Ji felt relieved, she quickly regained her state and placed her hands on the energy supply array. With the support of Lei Xiao and the others, the dim array soon began to shine again.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Lei Xiao first nodded to Xuan Ji, and then spoke to Jasmine through magic communication.
"You don't need to apologize. In fact, you are already very powerful. When you were trapped in the illusion of nothingness, you happened to catch up with the rare void gale, which would make the illusion of nothingness several times more severe."
Jasmine raised her eyebrows slightly and responded.
Jasmine clearly remembered that when she first entered the depths of the void space, the time she was trapped in the void illusion alone was far longer than Lei Xiao's, not to mention the void gale.
Therefore, the fact that Lei Xiao could wake up so quickly was actually beyond the girl's expectations.
"I have to say, this human kid is really capable."
Jasmine thought so without stopping the work in her hands. Soon, beads of sweat covered her fair forehead, and it was obvious that she had entered the most critical stage of the search.
Soon, her starry eyes lit up, and she said to Lei Xiao with great joy: "Human boy, it seems that we are lucky. I have found the space path leading to Guanwang City!" (End of this chapter)
